Camping Hiking Outdoor Cookware Set – Cup Plus Lid, 20 oz / 600ml Stainless Steel Cooking Cup Pot with Vented Lid, Folding Handles and Measurement Marks

If this is the size pot you're looking for, I can recommend it with no reservations. So far, I have boiled water and cooked oatmeal in it, and it has done great. The lid fits perfectly and the handles are sturdy. It was easy to clean. Very surprising quality for the price.The only knock is that it could be a little bit small for some people's purposes. 600mL is around 2.5 cups. You can boil two cups easily, and that's more than enough for most one-person backpacking needs. You won't be preparing an entire meal in the pot, but if you have Mountain House style freeze dried meals, you just pour hot water directly into the bag anyway. If that's not how you like to eat, then this pot would still be great for preparing a side, like boiling broccoli or making a broth or soup. Couple it with a little pan for frying up some kind of meat and you'll have yourself a backcountry feast. Then use it for making a cup of tea before bed.Update 10/9/17: I took it on its first overnight backpacking trip this last weekend, and I'm pleased to report that my review stands. I boiled up about 4-5 florets of broccoli and an entire carrot all together in the pot, so it has plenty of capacity for my purposes, then used the convenient holes in the lid to drain the water. I cooked over a simple canister stove (which is the third time I've had it over a burner) and there's not even any discoloration on the bottom. Still pretty happy!I have added a couple of DIY accessories to it that make it more convenient for backpacking, if anyone's interested. First I made a pot cozy out of reflectix (the foil-coated bubble wrap stuff) and duct tape, which helped keep my broccoli & carrots warm while I was eating. The other thing is that I got about a foot-long piece of Velcro OneWrap (which is a double-sided product with hook on one side and loop on the other, so that it sticks to itself), and I wrap it around the whole thing and through the loop in the lid, which holds my entire cook system together. My stove, small Bic lighter, pot scrubber, little cloth, piece of aluminum foil, tea bag, and sugar all fit easily inside. A fuel canister is too big for this pot, but like I originally said, you should know what size you're getting before buying!

If you are looking for a solo-backpacker pot/cup but can't seem to see yourself spending $40+ for a slightly lighter titanium unit, this is a great compromise. The cup is sturdy enough to last a long time and the lid helps to reduce cooking time by a good 30%. The fact that you can fit it to the bottom of a water bottle is an added plus, but not a deal maker or breaker for me. I would rather put my coffee supplies or stove inside than use the cup to protect the bottom of a water bottle.Plan ahead to either wait for the cup and contents to cool a little before drinking (and it is all metal so that won't take long), or getting a set of MSR "hot lips" to enable drinking from the cup while it is hot. You could also just carry a couple of tubes of chap stick to put on your burnt lips, but I htink the first two options are better.I would have given the cup five stars, but the edges on the lid needed a little touch up to remove burrs and the handle mounts could be a bit tighter. Regardless, this is still a good buy.

• Solid construction; handles are not wiggly• Volume markings on inside• Good lid ... well-attached D-ring-like handle, good ventilation / drain holes• Nests well with the Stanley Adventure Camp Cook set. Set the Stanley inside the DZO cup, put the DZO lid directly onto the Stanley, the put the Stanley lid on top of the DZO lid. The Stanley locking handle still closes with no problem. This all works well when keeping some fire-making items inside the Stanley, for a handy cooking suite. (I don't nest my water bottle; that goes elsewhere.)

This cup is not as good as a cup as the Olicamp Space Saver, and certainly nothing beats the GSI Glacier Cup for stainless steel bottle cups. The markings in the cup are easy to see and it is a decent enough hunk of steel of a cup, but the arms are a little bit flimsy compared to those other two cups. Not as bad as some other no name cheap cups, but the Space Saver and Glacier Cup are both better. But the Lid is REALLY Good. The lid is almost worth the cost of the cup all by its self. It seats well, the tab stays up and it fits all the cups above. If you want a lid for your cup buy this one. You can probably afford to buy both the Glacier (maybe even the glacier large) and one of these to put the lid on it. Then have an extra steel cup for around the house or the garage or whatever. A great lid. I am a bit annoyed that it seems you can not buy the lid alone as you once could. If DZO was going to stop selling the lid to make people buy the cup also, they should have made their cup the best one out there, at least as good as the Olicamp, so that was annoying, but the lid is still a great lid if your looking for a lid for a steel bottle cup, and worth the $13 you would pay for the cup.

Decent cup after first use. All the black soot came off and it still looks nice. Tried it out on an esbit stove with a Hexamine or esbit cube. Made hot cocoa with my son (opened the door for air circulation every now and then, despite cold and snow). He had fun, and so did I. Good cup. I’m not easy to please and I wasn’t compensated for this review. At least, not upon the writing. I speak my mind because I don’t like when people get shafted on Amazon with fake reviews. This is not a bargain but also not expensive. I just liked the cup enough to get one. Bought this and a few other stainless steel items for camping/backpacking. Most of the rest of my items will be Titanium for lightness and to pass onto my kids and eventually, grandkids. I hope my kids and their future kids like the outdoors (and I hope they don’t attract mosquitoes as much as I do). Good job, whoever markets this product.

Got 20 oz size to go with my stanley adventure cook kit. It nests great and the lids fit each other exactly. Boiled some water to give it a test and had no issues. It has marked measurement Mark's on the inside by the front of the cup. I feel like those will come off once I give it a scrub. Wish it was stamped like the tall version. I think the large/tall wouldn't fit the stanley so go with the medium size.
